I love this school but they are not teaching the average for any grade they say it is great it is the bottom 3rd of the bottom 3rd of the USA!!!!! I would like you to teach 6th grader 6th grade work not 5th grade work. And not just daily. I was behind in my grade and you lied and put my grades higher to an 75 to an 85. So my parent held me back as I redid the grade with homeschooling and was getting A and B''s.
